Latest News Luis Castillo

Reds right-hander Luis Castillo took a no-decision after giving up a run on six hits and five walks with four strikeouts in five innings in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader vs. the Cubs.

Spin: Castillo was wild but effective Saturday, holding the Cubs to just a single run despite issuing a season-high five free passes. Perhaps the biggest positive was that Castillo did not allow a home run after serving up a combined 10 in nine previous starts. The 25-year-old had shown solid control previously, though, with just 15 walks in 46 1/3 innings heading into the contest. Castillo is now 2-1 with a 2.78 ERA in four May starts after going 1-3 with a 7.85 ERA in six starts in March/April. He is scheduled to face the Pirates next May 24 in Cincinnati.

Latest News Jake Arrieta

Phillies right-hander Jake Arrieta won after allowing seven hits and a walk to go with seven strikeouts over 6 2/3 innings vs. the Braves on Wednesday.

Spin: Arrieta (4-2) lowered his ERA to 2.45 after throwing 109 pitches in a 4-0 combined shutout at Citizens Bank Park, with Seranthony Dominguez and Hector Neris finishing up. The Phillies closed to within a half-game of the first-place Braves in the NL East. A big free-agent buy during an awkward offseason, Arrieta has made a nice difference for the Phillies, tossing quality starts in six of nine appearances.
